Alliance vs Jio Fiber : Tariff Comparison

West Bengal’s top broadband provider, Alliance Broadband has expanded their coverage outside Bengal. It is now available in Bangaluru, Chennai, Mumbai and Hyderabad. 

For the uninitiated, Alliance Broadband has became the top broadband player in West Bengal for last 7-10 years, beating the state-owned BSNL. Technically Alliance was offering cable broadband while BSNL relied on ADSL technology initially, but both now have moved to Fiber in most of the areas. Fiber offers faster data than cable or ADSL, and maintenance charge is also low. For last some years the cost of rolling out fiber has been declining due to huge deployment across the globe. 

At present I have both Jio Fiber and Alliance Fiber connection at my home. Downtime is rare with Jio, while Alliance has some 30hr+ downtime in my area, thanks to local operator. Also during thunderstorm Jio never goes off - making it seamless internet experience. 

This is the tariff comparison of Alliance and Jio Fiber Broadband plans:
